Loomis Fargo Truck and CMPD Officer
From WCNC:
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said a Loomis Fargo employee was shot while servicing an ATM at the Foxcroft Shopping Center off of Fairview Road around 9 a.m.
According to police, one of two employees in the Loomis Fargo truck got out of the vehicle to work on an ATM. The employee was approached moments later by a man who shot her during an alleged robbery attempt.
Police said the Loomis Fargo driver got back in the truck and her co-worker called 911 and tried to drive to Carolinas Medical Center, but was instructed by a 911 operator to stop at Cavendish Court and Providence Road so the victim could receive immediate medical attention from EMTs.
The woman victim suffered a gunshot wound to the shoulder and is in serious condition at CMC, according to police.
An alert sent by police to residents in the area told them the suspect was described as a black male, wearing a grey sweatsuit. He was last seen running toward the Camden Fairington Apartments, off Valencia Terrace.
Police and FBI will not publish the amount of money taken, but Cedar Posts estimates that is could be least 10K and than more likely much more. As some 4 cartridge machines hold 40k or more in their vault.
Atlanta Georgia had a rash of Loomis Fargo ATM robberies last year at least one where a guard was also shot.

Details are very similar more about Atlanta heists here.
Cedar Posts will post a discription of the suspect as soon as CMPD or the FBI release it.
Cedar Posts Bonus: Armored car robbery is more common than you might think. Check out the reports here. Of course you can't say Loomis Fargo without saying dumb crooks, the infamous 1997 heist isn't the biggest cash haul, but is sure is the dumbest. More here.

Great stuff Cedar! Still waiting on a press release about the incident!
Cedar,
Did you see the city council meeting?
Such bullshit......and NEVER , ever let Harold Medlock speak in public again.
He is worse than Graue and Foster combined, horrible.
Medlock was like a deer in the headlights, and he sounded confused and kind of out of it.
Was this an indication of how Medlock and his cohorts will handle demonstrations at the DNC?
And these guys are amatures, the DNC protestors will be professional, organized and know exactly what they are doing.
Scary, very scary.
Omg, what exactly was Monroe saying???? What was he saying?? What did he mean??
Coud he be any more ridiculous?
Here's a rule for you Medlock and Monroe, Back Away From ANY microphone, they are dangerous weapons in your hands!
An alert sent by police to residents in the area told them the suspect was described as a black male, wearing a grey sweatsuit.....
Cedar I'm sure you noticed the perp in the Atlanta robbery photo is wearing a grey sweatsuit, not that grey is all that remarkable.
Has someone been arrested in the Atlanta robbery?
"He was last seen running toward the Camden Fairington Apartments, off Valencia Terrace"
Just for the record the Fairington Apartments are not off Valencia Terrace they are at the corner of Colony and Fairview Road about 4/10ths of a mile west of Valencia Terrace.
